Stuck for a Christmas Present? - Grab a copy of the Anniversary Book!

13/12/2021

With Christmas approaching, now’s your chance to grab a copy the 50th Anniversary Book as a wee present.

There are only a few books left, so if you know someone who would like one as a Christmas, Birthday or Anniversary gift you can get one from The Orcadian Bookshop or from Ian Carse, who can arrange for it to be signed if you like.

Each book covers the full history of the club as well as all the match facts and statistics throughout its history, and there is an abundance of photos of all the Club’s teams from its inception until the end of last season.

A book only costs £25 and each purchase makes a good contribution to the Club’s funds.

If you would like to reserve a book call or text Ian Carse on 878339 or O7415 680706 and leave your contact details. You can also reserve a book by sending Ian an email.

Help your Club, Buy a Book, and give someone a wonderful present!!
